Patent GB-191213699-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Scraping and Cleaning Boiler Tubes.
Inventor: WALKER EDWIN ROBERT
IPC: F28G3/10
Filed: 1912-06-11
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 13,699. Walker, E. R. June 11. Cleaning internally, rotary appliances for. - A rotary cleaner for boiler tubes is mounted so that by circular and radial adjustments it may be brought opposite any desired tube. Fig. 2 shows in plan a post or stand 1 which may be secured to the boiler front by suitable means, and on which a sleeve 19 may be rotated by worm gear 44. To the sleeve is secured a radial arm comprising bars 4, along which a bracket 5 may be adjusted by a screw 6 and wheel 7. The shaft 17 which drives the cleaner has bearings in the bracket, and is driven by a shaft 11 through suitable gearing from a motor 10. As shown the motor is mounted on the bars 4 and aids the balance weight 18. In a modification, the motor may be on the floor or elsewhere, driving the shaft 17 through bevelgear from an additional shaft axially mounted in the member 1 and driven through chain and bevel gear. The cutter bar 27 passes through the centre of the shaft 17 and is secured to rotate therewith by a split cone or other clutch 30, which allows the position of the bar 27 to be adjusted in the shaft 17, and allows additional lengths of bar to be introduced as required. The longitudinal movement of the shaft 17 to feed the cleaner through the tube is obtained by a rack and pinion 25, 26. The rack comprises a sleeve with teeth along one side, within which a reduced part of the shaft 17 rotates but cannot slide. According to the Provisional Specification, the rack may be formed by annular teeth on the shaft 17, or a screw adjustment may be substituted.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for the Electrical Separation of Bodies in Suspension from Gaseous Fluids.
Inventor: MOELLER ERWIN
IPC: B03C3/66
Filed: 1912-08-01
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 17,840. M÷ller, E. Aug. 1. Gases and vapours, treating electrically.-In the electrical treatment of gases for the separation of suspended matters in which an ionizing- member and a field surface are employed, the distribution of electric force is regulated by subdividing the electrodes and feeding each element with current of different tensions, or by employing auxiliary field surfaces, or by mechanically moving one electrode or element relatively to another. The ionizing-member 1 may be in the form of a stretched wire capable of adjustment by a divided rod 10 and arranged between auxiliary field surfaces 3 and opposite to a divided field surface 2, 2<1>. The gas to be treated is supplied from a nozzle 4' and the dust collects in a catch space 15, the constricted entrance 14 of which is framed in by other auxiliary feed surfaces 31, 32. The ionizing- member is protected from depositions by a screen 4 and by currents of clean gas from pipes 6; clean gas is also supplied by a pipe 17 and issues between the parts 2, 2<1> and between the surfaces 31, 32 by means of channels in the supporting-piece 16. Current of various tensions is supplied from a resistance 27 by conductors 28, 29. The ionizing-member 1 may be further protected against depositions by a heating- current of low tension from a battery 11, the circuit of which must be insulated for high tension. In a modification, two point-like ionizing-members are employed, Fig. 4, the current for each passing through a separate resistance 27. In this example auxiliary field surfaces are arranged on an insulating support 3. In another modification, Fig. 3, the pointlike ionizing - member 1 is surrounded by auxiliary field surfaces 3, 23 and arranged in proximity to the field surface 2. The gas to be purified is supplied in an annular stream around a screen 4, and clean gas from a pipe 21 issues by slots 22. An insulating fluid such as oil is contained in a vessel 25 and is circulated to and from a purifying-apparatus, and an annular projection 40 dips into the oil, thus sealing-off the insulation 41 against undesirable influences. In another modification, the ionizing-member is of the pubescent kind described in Specification 5969/08. Clean gas passes through its meshes, and an auxiliary field surface is arranged upon an insulating screen 38 which carries a slot 37 for supplying the gas to be treated.

Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Winding-on Motions for Spinning Mules and Twiners.
Inventor: THRELFALL RICHARD
Filed: 1912-11-12
Granted: 1913-11-12
Abstract: 25,925. Threlfall, R., and Barnes, W. Nov. 12. [Cognate Application, 4568/13.] Mules and twiners. -The quadrant screw is given a predetermined movement, which is transmitted irrespective of the tension of the yarn and varies throughout the formation of the heel of the cop, by means of a stop n<2> which is mounted on the carriage and engages at the end of each outward run with an arm h, which transmits. the motion to the quadrant screw through gearing which is disconnected except when the stop n<2> and arm h are in engagement so as to allow the operative to adjust the screw by hand to regulate the tension of the yarn. The stop n<2> is mounted on a nut engaged by a screw m<1> of variable pitch, which is gradually rotated by ratchet gearing o, operated by the winding-faller or by an inclined part on the headstock, so that the motion transmitted to the arm h is gradually reduced until the nut passes on to a plain part m<3> of the screw. The arm h is loose upon a stud f<1> and is connected by means of a chain g<1> with a pulley or scroll g carrying an arm f<2> upon which is mounted a pawl f<3>, or a sliding catch, which, when removed from a stop k' by the initial movement of the arm f<2>, engages and turns a wheel f connected with a wheel e fast on a plate carrying pawls d<2>, which engage a ratchet-wheel connected by gearing with the quadrant screw. A stop f<5> projebting from the arm f<2> is engaged by the lever h, but, as the chain g<1> is deflected by a bowl k<3>, the lever h thereby imparts an additional movement to the arm f<2>. The arm h and its connected parts are returned by a spring k connected to the pulley g. The wheel c and the ratchet-wheel of the screw m<1> are adjustable. The stop n<2> may operate a rack gearing with the wheel e, and a mutilated, quadrant, or similar wheel may be used in place of the wheel f. In Provisional Specification 25,925/12 it is stated that the screw m may be of regular pitch and have an irregular intermittent movement transmitted from, or governed by, the faller shaft.

Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 27,300. Guignard, G. P., and Watrigant, H. L. A. M. Aug. 21, [Convention date]. Glycerine, obtaining.-A process for treating distillery vinasses for the production of glycerine and other useful products consists in drying the vinasses, treating the residue with sulphuric acid in order to liberate the malic and other organic acids from their salts, and then extracting the glycerine with alcohol or other solvent. The alcohol dissolves also the malic and other acids and the betaine, asparagine, and other nitrogenous substances rendered soluble by the sulphuric acid. The solution is treated with lime, and the solvent is distilled off, and the residue is washed with alkaline water to precipitate the malic acid as its calcium salt, the glycerine being subsequently separated from the betaine &c. by washing with hot amyl alcohol. Reference is made to a similar treatment of waste soap lye, to the treatment of vinasses by drying, and the addition of sand, sawdust, peat, cellulose, &c. to render it capable of being washed with solvent, and to a similar addition of phosphates after treatment with sulphuric acid so that the residue may be used as manure. Specification 12,736/11, [Class 32, Distilling &c.], is referred to.
